  • Patent number: 11396842
    Abstract: A method and device for operating an internal combustion engine having a supercharging system that has an exhaust turbocharger and an electrically driven compressor. An output of the exhaust turbocharger is adjustable by a control element. A boost pressure setpoint is determined for achieving an increased engine torque setpoint. The supercharging system is adjusted to build up the actual boost pressure in accordance with the boost pressure setpoint and a positive scavenging gradient in a cylinder of the internal combustion engine is adjusted as the overriding command variable for driving the supercharging system.

  • Patent number: 11168607
    Abstract: A method for operating an internal combustion engine with a system for supercharging that includes an exhaust turbocharger and an electrically driven charging device for dynamic assistance during build-up of boost pressure, with: determining a drive criterion of the charging device, establishing an initial quantity of the drive criterion; continuously determining a reduction factor for the drive criterion within a balance period; applying the reduction factor to the initial quantity of the drive criterion; and operating the charging device with the drive criterion reduced by the reduction factor.

  • Patent number: 11028766
    Abstract: A method of operating a motor vehicle having an internal combustion engine, wherein the internal combustion engine has at least one combustion engine which is connected by a rotary drive via a transmission and optionally a clutch with powered wheels of the motor vehicle, and further comprises a fresh gas line, and wherein in the fresh gas line, a compressor is integrated, which is associated with a trim controller, by means of which an edge-side portion of the inlet cross section of a compressor impeller of the compressor is coverable to a variable extent. In this case, in a release position of the trim controller, the edge-side portion of the inlet cross section is covered relatively little, preferably the least possible, and in a covering position of the trim controller, is mostly covered, preferably as much as possible.

  • Patent number: 10815876
    Abstract: A method for operating an internal combustion engine is provided, wherein the internal combustion engine has at least one combustion engine and a fresh gas line and wherein a compressor, to which a trim adjuster is assigned, is integrated into the fresh gas line, said trim adjuster by which an edge section of the inlet cross section of a compressor wheel can be covered to a variable extent. In this case, the edge section of the inlet cross section is covered relatively little in a release position of the trim adjuster and covered relatively greatly in a covering position of the trim adjuster. It is provided that the trim adjuster is adjusted between the release position and the covering position, when substantially the same compressor pressure ratio and substantially the same fresh gas mass flow and substantially the same compressor efficiency are achieved in both operating positions.

  • Publication number: 20200011230
    Abstract: A method of operating an internal combustion engine, wherein the internal combustion engine has at least one combustion engine, a fresh gas line, and a compressor integrated in the gas line, which is associated with a trim controller, via which an edge-side portion of the inlet cross section of a compressor impeller of the compressor is coverable to a variable extent. In this case, in a release position of the trim controller, the edge-side portion of the inlet cross section is covered relatively little, and in a covering position of the trim controller, is mostly covered. It is provided that in a transition from a traction mode of the combustion engine, in which the trim controller is in the release position, the trim controller is adjusted to an overrun mode of the combustion engine into the covering position. As a result, a so-called discharge hissing can be prevented or minimized.
